Oxford Admissions - History and Practice

Curriculum reforms at Prelims, FHS and MSt level are introducing changes to the ways in which we teach modern British History which should be fruitful intellectually and pedagogically. This event is intended to get us to think beyond the administrative headaches. The session will fall into three parts, beginning with a discussion centring on responses to James Vernon's (fairly) recent book:Distant strangers: how Britain became modern(2014).  This will be followed by short presentations from two of our colleagues - William Whyte and Sarah Crook on new research in their respective fields.  We'll then segue into discussion of the pedagogical and intellectual opportunities generated by the new Prelims curriculum and some talk about how we could shape the Modern British History strand of the new MSt in History.You are welcome just to drop in if you can't attend the whole session.  Information to follow about whether lunch will be provided.  If not, you are welcome to bring your own.[Image from Wikimedia Commons.
